NK6ANoisy static lousy conditions from Mar Vista tonight. Started om 20 and found K7TQ instantly from MT with a good signal. Everyone else was in the noise. Sun was

shining up until almost 0230 but 20M was giving up at 0200. 40 was not going to happen for me. Managed to snag a VE3 and a few stations from NH. Great K3 filtering

and antenna.

K4BAIStarted out with good rates, good signals, and fair skip on 20M. Then 40M had fair signals and no long skip, but very high QRN. Rates dropped dramatically. Took out a few minutes for the state CW net at 0200Z. 80M had terrible QRN but worked GA, FL, and VA. Think AI4SV called on 80, but couldn't hear his exchange on that band. Best DX was VE3EUR/VE7 on 20M. Thanks for all QSOs and hope for better activity and better conditions next month.

W5ESEKD1JV AT Sprint 3 @3W, with a 9.6V wall wart and Whiterook MK-44 paddles. Antenna is a 300' horizontal loop, fed with open wire line. First Sprint I've made since

October. Hard to believe so many have slipped past. QRN was high on 40m. Will submit my log to ARRL's 'Logbook of the World'.

W5ACMMy ATS-3a is still on the workbench, so I continue to use the heavier ATS-3 in the Altoids box, but this month with three 300 mAh LiPo batteries. I had enough "juice" for some "CQ" ops, but should have started earlier with "CQ" via 20M. My "el-cheapo" earbuds have turned out to be the most sensitive of all tested, but they do have some distortion. For CW, that's not a problem! Conditions were excellent for almost the first hour via 20M. However, 40M and 80M conditions at my QTH were quite noisy

- only two contacts on 40M this time, and none on 80M.

WB4MNKGot in late but Enjoyed it. Thanks John K4bai for 80 meter contact.

NQ2WK1 running 5W to a mini-beam at 25 ft for 20 meters, an inverted vee at 40 ft for 40 meters, and ground mounted, near bottom-loaded vertical for 80 meters. Made 11 Q's on 20 and 7 on 40. Switched filter boards to try 80 but didn't make any Q's there. I thought participation was pretty good again this month. Some signals were strong, some not so strong. There was one station that called but I couldn't copy...maybe next month we'll make it. Thanks to all of the participants and thanks to the

organizers. Hope to hear you all again and more next month.

AB1AVGot a late start after traffic nets, but for once 20 meters was still alive. Reached TX, MO, AL, and (barely) CA with my 4 Watt ATS3 feeding an 88 foot wire up about

60 feet. Tried to switch to 40 or 80 but either my rig was acting up or we had no propagation, so called or quits after just a half hour. Next month I'll try to stay

in the chair...

K4ORDConditions were fair on 20M worked TX, MT, & CA and on 40M made 16 qso's and 80M only one, K4BAI. Signals on 40 were up and down a lot with plenty of QRN ( S8 TO S9 )

Turn out was down from last month maybe the QRN was wide spread? Until next month . . .
